Panoramic Hiking Tour On Gellért Hill (on weekends)

Discover the mysterious Gellért Hill with me and learn about this amazing city from a local! Gellért Hill is not only a great hiking spot right at the feet of the city center but also a place of legends and exciting historical events.

IMPORTANT:

• This is a moderate-level hiking tour which means that we are going to climb around 340 steps (upwards), and achieve a total of 170-190m altitude in a short distance, appr. 3,5 km. Thus please wear comfortable (or hiking) shoes/sandals and bring a water bottle with you that you can refill along the way.
• The tour can only be held under the right weather conditions because the hiking trail can get slippery when wet. In case of bad weather I will contact you before the tour and inform you in time.
• We will go in small groups, with max. 5 persons. The route is not accessible by wheelchair.

Meeting point: at the drinking fountain in front of Gellért Thermal Bath. Don’t forget the comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle! To get to the meeting point you can use metro line 4 (green line), tram line 19/41/47/48/49/56/56A, bus line 7 or 133E - or you can reach the meeting point by foot 🙂.

We will finish the tour near Elizabeth Bridge on the Buda side, near the city center and Buda Castle District.
Let me show you the city from another perspective!
